| Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Text Block] | NOTE 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDSNew Accounting Standards Not Yet AdoptedIn December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019 -12, Income Taxes (Topic . ASU 740 )—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes2019 -12 is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019 -12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years, which is fiscal 2022 for us, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect adoption of the new guidance to have a significant impact on our financial statements.In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 -13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic . ASU 326 ), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements2016 -13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In November 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018 -19, Codification Improvements to Topic , which clarifies codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance, and in 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019 -11, Codification Improvements to Topic , which clarifies or addresses specific issues about certain aspects of ASU 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses2016 -13. In November 2019 the FASB issued ASU No. 2019 -10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic , and in 326 ), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815 ), and Leases (Topic 842 ): Effective Dates February 2020 the FASB issued ASU No. 2020 -02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic , both of which delay the effective date of ASU 326 ) and Leases (Topic 842 ): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016 -02, Leases (Topic 842 )2016 -13 by three years for certain Smaller Reporting Companies such as us. We were unaffected by the change in the effective date of the ASU related to Leases (Topic 842 ) because we have already adopted that ASU. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020 -03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments ; which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. In accordance with ASU 2019 -10 and ASU 2020 -02, ASU 2016 -13 is effective for certain Smaller Reporting Companies for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be fiscal 2024 for us if we continue to be classified as a Smaller Reporting Company, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect adoption of the new guidance to have a significant impact on our financial statements. |
